Ok guys the Dcomo SO-01c (japanese xperia) has been successfuly unlocked and working on the U.S 3G network
so you dont have to wait for SE USA or Rogers no more
the bands it uses are
GSM/GPRS/Edge 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS/HSPA bands 1/2/5/6
which is equivalent to 2100/1900/850/800
possibly WCDMA for verizon will work (correct me if i am wrong) which is a big positive on this japanese version , another positive is being available in three colors.
blue
pink
silver
the phone comes with a 16gb memory card
i ordered the pink color for someone and i will order a silver one for myself
so you dont have to wait for SE USA or Rogers no more
i am so glad that this has worked after so many people have doubted that it would work and been told not to waste my money.
i dont want to waste your time explaining my story on how i got the courage to risk trying one and how i found out it will work, but if you want to know i will gladly answer ur questions.
i found a japanese seller that happened to know some english and willing to help and luckily he had an ebay account.
he sold me the phone for $770 including superfast shipping. he said he could sell it to me for $720 on paypal but i chose ebay since it was my first time.
if you can find other sellers good luck . the phone at docomo is around $600 without shipping
i got called by FCC to fill a form and send it to them to be able to get cleared by customs which i did.
when i got the phone all i did was unlock it using ezSEMC and purchased 10 credits from a provider and took about 1 minute to unlock.
http://www.2shared.com/document/F9cAO3Z5/xperia_arc_unlock_instructions.html
it can also be unlocked via entering unlock code provided by cellunlocker.net($8) or other different sites
all you have to do is flash the LT15i rom or the Lt15a rom and you will be able to get the unlock code screen
user morita0107 has unlocked it by entering an unlock code after flashing the LT15 rom on it(same way as x10)
3G popped the moment i put the APN settings which i got help from nimche who has been a great deal of help and support. He has also uploaded the rom for the LT15a which i will flash later on.
download LT15a rom from here (thanks Nimche)

morita0107
feel free to ask any questions . (Nimche can also answer if i get busy)
i have an ebay invoice up for grabs if anyone wants it for the black color
and i can contact the seller to prepare one for you if you want silver or pink
i have flashed the device with the LT15a rom and everything is working fine, even the Docomo logo in the begining dissappeared

When are you getting yours?
Glad it worked out for you! Enjoy your phone!

switching to att might work since tmobile might dissapear anyway

This is fantastic news.
However... just one question remains for me:
Bootloader. Are you carrier-locked or free as the air we breathe?
You'll need 1700 mhz to get 3G on Tmobile, which the Arc doesn't have. If you can live with edge only on Tmo then no prob. No manufacturer supports AWS (1700 mhz) unless it's a Tmo US phone.
WCDMA actually refers to GSM band 850/1900 (I think those are the frequencies), regardless it is a GSM distinction not what you think of in the US as CDMA. So no, it won't work on Verizon. Even if it was a CDMA device you'd still have to get VzW to allow it's ESN on their network and that's not easy, not saying it's impossible, just difficult.

No, there are a lot of info that Galaxy Note with LTE is not released yet and will be available exclusively for the korean market
yea, please let us know whether it works in the USA on Tmobile bands.
Question?
So does all the note possibly have the penta band as we are seeing in tocache's phone, or is it specific to the hong kong models? I think I also saw some who bought from the Netherlands also have this penta band...
Could those of you that purchased this phone from other places/countries check the service mode menu to see if this is the case with all the Gnotes? Thanks in advance!

Its been established (more or less) that the phone claims to support 1700/2100 AWS 3G in the service menu. The problem is getting the phone to actually connect to the network and not bork itself in the process.
Out of the box the phone does not work with T-mobile's 3G/HSPA+ network. It may be possible with a modified 'modem' but so far nobody has modified a Note specific modem to attempt to get it to work.
We also need to know what radio chipset the phone is using. It could be the SKY7706 or the SKY7704. The 7704 supports Tmo. The 7706 doesn't. We need a teardown or analysis of the modem (if possiblee) to determine what its using.
This is a glorious day!!!!
Ok, so I was browsing Youtube for some reviews of the Ascend Mate 7 and I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNVV20U5qtU (website here: http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/09/huawei-ascend-mate-7-first-impressions.html)
The reviewer (Alexander Maxham) said that he had a Chinese version that was sent to him by Huawei. I asked in the comments whether he had tried any North American SIM cards, and these are the responses I got:
Me:
Thanks for the video. Quick question. I assume you're in North America somewhere, have you tested the Chinese version that you have on any of the North American Networks? There seems to be some confusion about whether there will be a US-specific version of the device or if the Chinese version will give HSPA+ or LTE in the US and Canada.
Alex:
Right now, I have a AT&T sim in there, and it's only HSPA+. But it should work completely on T-Mobile's LTE network. I don't have their SIM right now but should have one in a few days.
Me:
Okay great. If you could give us update when you get it and try it, i'm sure many people would appreciate it. This phone looks great btw. It's almost certainly going to be my next phone (coming from Note 3). I'll subscribe so I can see your full review when it's posted.
Alex:
It fully works on T-Mobile. About the same speeds as my T-Mobile branded LG G3 is getting. Kind of weird usually foreign phones work completely on AT&T and only get EDGE and sometimes HSPA+ on T-Mobile. But it's full on LTE this time around, which is great.
I see no reason to doubt him. And this makes me very happy. Full LTE on T-Mobile!
Wooohoooooo!!!!!!!

I find this incredibly ridiculous that news sources, websites, and even Huawei themselves doesn't know what networks the Mate 7 works on. I'll wait for 2 or 3 more people to confirm this works on T-Mobile before buying it. I'd want the 32GB/3GB RAM version, will that work with TMo LTE?

I will be going to Taipei and Thailand in November so maybe I can buy the Mate 7 there. My big worry is whether there would be various models or variations in hardware configurations. I still find it strange that it seems hard to determine if a phone works with a specific carrier until it gets used on that carrier. If the phone says it works on Bands 2 and 4 should it not definitely work on T Mobile's LTE network? I sometimes wonder if the cell phone companies purposely confuse the issue so you will not buy a different phone. I am not an iphone guy but I believe I read that the Sprint and US Cellular Iphones (and maybe Verizon?)
support virtually every cell phone band in the world, if true, that is what I would like to see in a phone. You never know when you might make a wrong turn and end up in Chad or Outer Mongolia!
Bill
Not sure what bands its connecting on... as Tmobile in USA looks like it has 700, 1700 and 1900... but none of those are the reported 1,3,7 LTE FDD bands that the the mate7 is supposed to have.... maybe it also has band 2?
EDIT: If this is true, then it all makes sense how the reviewer was getting full speeds on tmobile. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55468358&postcount=1 + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55500623&postcount=3IF those bands are available while roaming, then it makes sense as band 2 would enable it. Also band 4.

Yes. From the article:
" This version of the Ascend Mate 7 supports LTE and HSPA+ on T-Mobile and AT&T so I am enjoying it on T-Mobile's LTE network."
He didn't list a specific version, but I'm sure he would have mentioned if it were a US specific version as opposed to the normal Chinese version. So far all of the reviews that I have seen where Huawei has sent out a device have been the Chinese version.
Wonder which Chinese version it is since I want to pick one up next month when I travel. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I don't know personally. Mayne you should go to the article and ask in the comments. They might be kind enough to let you know the specific model number.
I went ahead and asked which version he had working on t-mobile lte in the comments. He said...... "It shows model number MT7-L09. This one has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage"
He also mentioned with his pre paid ATT sim he was only getting HSPA+.
Interesting. It could be the APN with his att prepaid Sim. But at least it works for T-Mobile for sure.

This confirms what I posted in the other thread from the Youtube reviewer (Alex from AndroidHeadlines) who stated that he had gotten HSPA+ on AT&T, but LTE on T-Mobile.
When I Googled the model number (MT7-L09) it brought me to this page (http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/support/manuals/ascend-mate7.htm) which has a US/English support manual for the phone and specs that list bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28.
MT7-L09 doesn't appear to be on sale anywhere online? I would rather the 3 gig model anyway. Might just pony up and try it. Shows the band's I need supported now. Coming from the note 3 this is exactly what I hoped the note 4 to be.

Yeah me too. I am just worried about ordering from Aliexpress and having it take a month to get to me. They are notorious for taking forever to ship to the US.

It won't ever work with your Sprint SIM because the H815 model is GSM only - and Sprint is CDMA

The answer used to be Sprint is CDMA not GSM so you have the wrong phone if I am correct. Sorry. But now that they have LTE....
LTE is the same functionally (not bands though) among carriers. You may need to call Sprint and see if they have some sort of blocking enabled for that device.

I am about to order one from ebay (h815). I'm not sure if that will work with tmo since it's missing the aws 1700/2100 3g band. Isn't that a necessary band for mms?
Also looks like it's missing lte 12 but doesn't matter since Chicago hasn't been approved for that band anyway and it'll be a while before that happens.

Havent had any trouble with mms, sending photos from my G4 on t-mo to wifes G3.
What are the differences between the F500 and the H815? Here in Australia, the F500 is approximately $100 more expensive than the H815 on eBay. Of course, it hasn't been released yet and I believe that, when it is released, it will cost around $900. ( -_-)
In Australia, if you're with Telstra and want the new 4GX network, you need the 815 or 815T. You need one that has 700MHz(B28) band, and it seems both of them do have this. If you're with Optus, the 815 is missing an LTE band and you'd be best going for the 815T.

I'm with the crappiest company; Vodafone. I didn't even know there were so many models of the G4. Thanks for that!
I don't use 4G/LTE. There's dodgy coverage in Perth and its suburbs (even just general 2G/3G) and I'm usually in reach of wifi.
I hope someone can make a list of all the models to make it easier to find the international model versus carrier models.

Ah, yeah. I saw that. Not a bad price but why is the leather-back version the same price as the plastic cover one?
Is the F500 the international variant or the H815? Which one do you think will get the fastest updates? I really want to switch from my Nexus 5. With Google's new Photos app coming later today, I'd love to take photos on the G4 and upload them.
Speed test on T-Mobile.

Ah, yeah. I saw that. Not a bad price but why is the leather-back version the same price as the plastic cover one?

All righty. It does seem like the H815 is the international version.
I'll think about ordering it soon. I've already spent too much this month and I'm running out of money.
Hey guys,
I've been using my M9+ for quite a while now and its incredible, I have been using the CleanSlate Rom and its kernel. The picture quality is amazing and the 2k screen is beyond beautiful. The fingerprint scanner is very responsive. I am from the UK and its working perfectly for me here. The lady in the HTC Chat told me it wouldn't work here and no point buying it. But I knew it would work as the bands are mostly the same as the M9 and is covered by the networks in the UK.
Do you have the M9+?
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
Where do you live?
Whats your view of the phone?
Looking forward to your replies
HTC One M9+
I'm from India and I have been using M9+ for about a month now. Its not rooted (yet). Its an incredible device but one glitch I have noticed is that the camera app doent load sometimes. I'm running Android 5.0.2 with Sense 7.0. Also the device tends to heat quite a bit on moderate usage. Other than that it's a beast!
Do you have the M9+? - Yes
Where do you live? - Hungary/European Union
Whats your view of the phone?
- I'm pleased with the experience, I was turned down by the Camera reviews on the net, but I gotta tell, on the long run, I got used to how it works, and while I might have to take 2 pics instead of one because of the focus capabilities and lack of OIS, BUT those images that goes well are Superb.
- The heating is like it is supposed to be on a metal chassis
- Battery life is like average high end phones, I wish it was like on Sony's, but nothing worse than it was on my previous phone (OPO)
- I could live with a little bit less bazel because of the look of the phone, but the screen is gorgeous!!
- The price is a bit over the edge (especially if you have to pay import + VAT in EU from China like i had to, bah), but hopefully it will get cheaper, and more people can get this
Also as a developer, I'm pleased that HTC released the kernel sources relatively fast. Developing AOSP like ROMs for this phone is tho' a big no, MTK + HTC is double pain in the ass, so for now I'm skipping developing AOSP based device tree for it.
Do you have the M9+?
-- Yes
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
Where do you live?
-- Shanghai, China / Taiwan
Whats your view of the phone?
-- This is a pretty nice phone overall, and I love it, especially after breaking the chains and bondage the original China version laid. Thanks to @tbalden again!!
-- The Duo Camera could have been smoother though.
Do you have the M9+? YES, MY SISTER GOT IT FOR ME FROM ABU DHABI
If you don't have it will you be getting it? N/A
Where do you live? UK
Whats your view of the phone? VERY GOOD, WORTH WAITING FOR AS I UPGRADED FROM THE ONE M7
Do you have the M9+?
Yes, Bought it from HK as my M8 had a mishap.
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
N/A
Where do you live?
Sydney, Australia
Whats your view of the phone?
Nice phone. I have had it about 3 weeks, running CleanSlate Rom still getting used to M9+ compared to M8. Only real complaint so far with the phone design is the position of the power button - not to touch the button and turn on the screen. unnecessarily. Managing the battery life is continuous problem.
HI guys, just a quick question for those in UK - does the 4G work on Vodaphone & EE?
Thank you

I got this from a seller
Hello. this item doesn't supporting LTE 800MHz, can't work on Vodafone LTE network. only work on EE LTE. and remind you SIM 2 slot only supporting 2G network
so you can use the SIM slot 1 for the EE LTE network. and the SIM slot for the Vodafone 2G network
Allan
Have you tested it on Vodaphone mate, thanks

You mention the the device was E9+ (E9pw),not M9+ (M9pw).
If you want dual SIM devices, choose E9+ or ME (M9ew).
hahaa...... So many devices confused your users , hTC ........

I said E9+ because that what a seller in UK has, but he says it WILL not work on 4G in UK not seen any M9 E's for sale here - is it the same as the + or is it missing things (I ask because the + is missing) :/
EDIT:
Fpound one in Germany but it says:
Network Technology LTE
Band GSM 800/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) CDMA 800/1900 UMTS 850/1900/2100 LTE 1900
Vodaphone uses LTE 800Mhz so it wont work either :/
These phone companies REALLY need to get their acts together and simplify things for the markets, we are a global market now, the country divides are useless
Thanks for the input guys
UPDATE:
I bought the E9+
works great on EE 4G so I am happy
I saw a post on here somewhere about a dial in code #? to unlock 4G on SIM 2 but I cannot bloody find it :/
Do you have the M9+? Yes
Where do you live? Adelaide, Australia
Whats your view of the phone? It's sexy and love it expect the camera and battery life otherwise everything great.
hi guys, this is my first post so go easy. I'm wanting to buy the m9+ though im not sure if the 4g/the phone in general will work on o2 in the uk? can anyone clarify this for me? o2 use 800mhz as their band and i dont think the m9+ works with this.
however according to willmyphonework dot net when i select the m9+ it says it will work?
finally there are seemingly two m9+ models listed on there, the m9pw and the m9pt- will either of them work or should i just give up trying to get this?
cheers in advance!
